New Domestic Works Contracts Now Available

 
At MPAQ, we're dedicated to keeping our members informed and compliant with processes and legal requirements regarding works contracts. In response to member feedback, we've made important improvements to enhance your experience. 

The documents have been prepared to make contracting easier to manage, assist you in engaging with clients, and give you certainty in contracting with clients. They should also be easier to use and prefill, with included prompts and explanations where appropriate.

We're pleased to introduce new flexibility in our process. Members can now choose to have contract terms and conditions available on their website or sent to customers along with quotes or invoices. Of course, completing a contract with customers for domestic work remains crucial.

We have also provided a checklist for each contract to help with completion and the process of contracting.These checklists provide guidance as to extra things you may wish to think about, including checking the identification of your client and that they are the proper person to be dealing with regarding the property.

There are specific legislative requirements for contracts depending on the value of the works being undertaken. This is why we’ve expanded our Domestic Works contracts into three options based on project cost

•    Contract value: $0 - $3,300 
•    Contract value: $3,301 - $19,999 
•    Contract value: $20,000 or more 
 
Each contract encompasses: 
 
•    Client Information Sheet: To initiate customer engagement 
•    Works Schedule: Adaptable for different jobs at the same location 
•    Terms and Conditions: Tailored to project cost 
•    Checklist: Assisting compliance with contract obligations 
•    Variation Notices: Addressing any agreed-upon changes 
•    Waiver Notice: For customers waiving cooling-off periods
